Rhapsody Arts CenterEARLY CHILDHOOD CLASSES

Kindermusik®, MusikGarten®, and Preschool Classes

Early exposure to music and movement is at the heart of Kindermusik® and music readiness classes. We emphasize structured play, combining music and movement in activities designed specifically to enhance the developmental capabilities of young children. The curriculum is family-centered because home activities and group participation are essential to each child's development.

Babies Music—Participating in music enhances bonding between baby and caregiver while encouraging the discovery of sounds, movement and textures. Watch as your child's language skills increase through singing and vocal play. Your child's overall development will soar through enjoyable musical stimulation. Ages 0-18 months, with caregiver.

The Babies Music Class is free, sponsored by the Purple Goose. The class runs twelve weeks, March 4-May 20 every Tuesday from 10:30-11am.

Toddler's Music—The repetition of familiar tunes, dances, and books stimulates the toddler's learning. How many times have you heard, "Let's sing that song again!"? The more toddlers learn the words and can predict the movements, the stronger the connection in the brain! Come share this time with your toddler singing and dancing to your favorite songs and learning new tunes! Ages 18 months-3 years, with caregiver.
